10 The Lord has bared his holy arm
    in the sight of all the nations.
All the ends of the earth will see
    the salvation of our God.
11 Depart, depart! Leave that place behind!
    Touch nothing that is unclean.
Go forth from its midst and purify yourselves,
    you who carry the vessels of the Lord.[a]
12 But you need not rush forth in haste,
    nor should you take flight like fugitives.
For the Lord will go before you,
    and your rear guard will be the God of Israel.
